Talk:Obsidian (BM)

Who's said Obsidian was a Predacon? I know the word wasn't used, but I assumed he was an Autobot from the context of his introducing himself in the show. Animus 08:01, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

I was always under the impression that he was a former Maximal general of sorts. --Detour 09:54, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

That doesn't seem likely, since Optimus thinks he's a Maximal spark at first and Obsidian corrects him. Something like "I'm not one of your people." Non-Maximal protector of Cybertron leads me to think he's an Autobot. Animus 09:27, 19 December 2007 (UTC)Animus

I don't remember such a line in such a context. Can someone watch the episode? --ItsWalky 11:32, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

If I could know the title I'd look around. --Detour 12:06, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

The episode title is "Spark War (Part 1)" which I just re-watched. The actual lines, in context, are as follows:

Obsidian: You are hereby invited to surrender your sparks to Megatron.

Optimus: Whoever you are, you're betraying your own people.

Obsidian: On the contrary... I've been programmed to protect Cybertron. And such has always been my mission.

Which I first interpreted as saying he wasn't one of Optimus' "people," but on second viewing, it doesn't necessarily have to mean that. It still can, though, and his emphasis on "always" seems like he's been around for quite a while. Animus 19:52, 21 December 2007 (UTC)Animus

Primal does say that by helping Megatron, he was committing treason...which does sorta imply that he was either an Autobot or Maximal, but that's hardly conclusive. --Spectre 12:39, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Obsidian's TFU profile calls him a former Autobot, though that may or may not apply to this-universe Obsidian. Where has he been credited as a Predacon? --Spectre 22:54, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
